I haven't posted here in months, but I do still browse the forums a bit, and this thread prompted me to respond.
There's more to wade through at The Codex, and if some of that somehow hurts or offends you, or if you feel it's simply beneath you, then maybe you really should avoid those forums. Myself, I see it as no big deal.
On the other hand, because it's more self-moderating, The Codex has a certain amount of greater potential. Carefully-moderated forums often end up being comfortable homes for challenged individuals. Folks like that hate places like The Codex and avoid them like the plague.
So say what you want about The Codex, but it isn't easy being stupid, medicated, codependent, psychotic or insane there, not if you want or need to be taken seriously.
